Does installing a new motherboard with Ryzen 7800X3D RAM cause quick pauses or frame rate jumps?

I might pause for a second while the game loads my items before each door opens that's all the wait it takes.
What newer well-optimized game can you recommend for testing your CPU? A game that runs super smoothly without needing to load shaders or areas like those in Bethesda titles. It doesn't have to look amazing, but it should use the processor a lot. Maybe something like a classic RPG? Baldur's Gate 3?
Yeah, maybe Baldur's Gate 3? Even though I haven't touched it in ages and back then it was running on an old computer. I tried playing the first release demo on a 1050 Ti graphics card, but it really didn't work well. The game was dropping frames down to around 15 to 20 per second when trying to run at 1440p resolution.
I think CS2 is awesome at showing if your PC has tiny stuttering bugs. It might sound weird, but I can't rule out that a PSU could be causing problems. Even if it isn't the main issue, you should definitely switch to a better power supply.
PSUs causing problems with other things in their group happens very rarely, but there are almost no other signs when it doesn't happen, so it's not likely at all. I have seen more than 10 bad CPUs and never once saw a power supply cause this kind of thing, if that shows how rare such a problem is. If I had to guess, I would bet the farm is not a PSU issue.
As @dark_globe mentioned, this power supply unit (PSU) should never be put in your PC. No matter why it stutters or crashes, this thing is junk and could burn down your entire computer. It's actually the cheapest one from a good company that will last for years if you're in the US.
Endorfy (which is now called SPC) isn't trash. Back home and especially here in Poland, they are very popular and get great reviews. They aren't fancy top-shelf stuff, but they work well for mid-range PCs. A 550W box might not look cool when you see it, but if you run OCCT Power tests with my wattmeter plugged in, the computer only uses up to 350W. When I game, it's closer to 300W. That means there is room left for other parts that aren't too powerful yet. I've never had any trouble with this supply like sudden restarts, crashes, or burning things down. It also keeps the voltage steady. People often buy worse quality power supplies when they have bigger machines than me.
When choosing this power supply, I looked at reviews and what people said online. They all seemed okay. I didn't see anything on any blacklists that would say "bad." We've moved away from talking about the original topic. Of course, I want to swap it out in the next few months. But not because it's broken, just to improve my setup one last time. The stutter I'm mentioning isn't a power supply issue for me. Maybe though, if I want extra peace of mind, I'll try buying a better one and testing it out.
